A 22-year-old man with addresses in Easton and Phillipsburg allegedly threw a beer bottle at a juvenile late last month, requiring the teen to get 34 stitches, court documents say.

Vernon Leroy Fountain Jr., with addresses in the first block of North Union Street in Easton and the first block of Lewis Street in Phillipsburg, faces charges in the July 28 assault of the juvenile and a woman. Court papers did not identify the age of the juvenile.

Police were dispatched to the 100 block of South Sixth Street for initial reports of a stabbing, court papers say. Easton police found a juvenile there bleeding from cuts on his chest and left arm requiring immediate medical attention, court papers say. He needed 34 stitches to close the wounds, court records say.

Police say Fountain threw a beer bottle at the juvenile while he was only six to 10 feet away. The shattered glass is what police say cut the juvenile. The woman, Patricia Newton, and the juvenile told police that Fountain had threatened to kill them. They identified Fountain as a friend, police say.

Fountain was arraigned Wednesday night before District Judge Jacqueline Taschner. He was charged with aggravated assault, two counts of terroristic threats, simple assault, reckless endangerment and two counts of harassment. Taschner sent Fountain to Northampton County Prison in lieu of $20,000 bail.
